"People's Library" books fill a table at a news conference given by representatives of the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York. The books were among those carted away by sanitation workers on Nov. 15 when police raided and dismantled the Occupy Wall Street encampment in New York City. Activists want the city to reimburse them for over 2,000 missing books as well as those damaged when the camp was taken down.
